HDS-9 Gen3 Custom Shading Luke Reilly
Lowrance has just announced a price drop across its HDS Gen 3 range of multi-function displays just in time for Christmas. The new RRP incorporates savings of $300, $400 and $500 on the seven, nine and twelve inch models respectively, regardless of whether purchasing a head unit only or package optioned with transducers.

For anglers who want it all, HDS Gen3 combines a fast processor with enhanced built in fishfinder and chartplotter technologies. Superior target separation is achieved through CHIRP, StructureScan® HD and StructureScan 3D sonar imaging to produce a distinct view of fish holding near the bottom and structure.

A multi-touch display and full keypad operation offers fingertip access to all features, with instinctive icon-driven commands easy to learn. The user friendly features extend to scrolling menus, cursor assist, snap-to setting markers and preview panes with quick touch side bars, which make operation similar to that of a smartphone or tablet.



HDS Gen3 displays network together, so multiple units may be employed at the helm to allow full screen sonar and chart, or additional units on a casting deck. This system also offers full boat integration, with electric trolling-motor, outboard motor and entire electronics control achievable through one integrated HDS Gen3 system.

The new RRP for HDS Gen3 when optioned with a TotalScan Transducer, which enables Mid/High CHIRP, DownScan Imaging™ and StructureScan HD functionality, is listed below:
